Wikimedia wiki mobile redirect

Hi, this wiki does not automatically redirect mobile users to the mobile domain, like Wikimedia projects actually do. For example, clicking on "Terms of Use" on Wikipedia in mobile mode goes to this wiki in desktop mode, wich is not very nice. Please fix. CyberOne25 (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello @CyberOne25, I have reported this on Phabricator where hopefully it can be investigated further and resolved. Thank you for reporting it. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

@CyberOne25: I believe this is now fixed - please let me know if you experience otherwise. Thank you again for reporting this. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

shown 3 edit requests but listed none

On page -> https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Scope , what is the meaning of 3 in the Maintenance infobox since there are no element in the list page ? May be title to improve.

Edit requests (3)

-- Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 07:43, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

@Wladek92: That relates to the number of edit requests currently in queue. I am open to suggestions on alternative (but not too long) wording. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:27, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

so where are the 3 ones since the queue is empty when i open the link ? Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 06:12, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

@Wladek92: I am not sure what you mean. I see two pages in that category (aka the queue) - one (the template) is excluded from the count, and one is one hold (but still in the queue). That matches the (1) that I now see in that navbox. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Delete Policy:Terms of Use/es-formal

Policy:Terms of Use offers an untranslated español (formal) version. This is unneeded and useless. It seems to have appeared from the creation of Policy:Terms of Use/es-formal in what seems a mistake edit by a newbie.

TranslatablePage::getTranslationPages() figures out the list of languages from the subpages that exist. (thanks @bd808 for the link)

There's also a second translation (Policy:Terms of Use/sh-cyrl) listed as "0% translated" as well, which should probably be equally deleted. Seems created by a spammer, which was reverted by Tropicalkitty, but the page kept on, edited by FuzzyBot and other non-translated edits.

And gone. Thanks, GVarnum-WMF Platonides (talk) 22:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Can this site be classified as semi-fishbowl

As unregistered users cannot edit or translate anything and registered users only have ablity to edit talk pages and user pages, and translating content, also creating an account is disabled. Can this wiki be considered "semi-fishbowl"? ToadetteEdit (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

@ToadetteEdit: Can you elaborate? Considered for what purpose and where? --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Translations of Board meetings

There seems to be a problem with the section titles for translations of this page. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for letting us know! This has now been fixed. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Request for translation administrator rights

Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like Agenda:2016-04-22/bm, not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the Wikimedia:Accounts policy. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
